Behind Changsun Wuji's army, flames shot into the sky, angry curses and the neighing of war horses came one after another.
The scene was even more chaotic, with people and horses scurrying around like headless flies for fear of being swallowed up by the fire.
After everything calmed down, the camp at the rear was devoured by fire and turned into a pile of debris.
Changsun Wuji also just arrived here, looking at the charred camp, his face looked ugly.
He turned to look at a general and said, "I asked you to monitor and intercept Cheng Yaojin. Is this how you monitored me?"
"My lord, I have finally confessed my crime. I hope you will show mercy. Cheng Yaojin's attack was too sudden. The troops you left behind could not stop Cheng Yaojin at all." The general knelt down and cried.
"Even if you can't stop it, wouldn't you send someone to report to the camp? Wouldn't you let the camp be wary of Cheng Yaojin's sneak attack?" Changsun Wuji pointed out the problem pointedly.
The general couldn't refute what Changsun Wuji said. In fact, he was stunned by Cheng Yaojin at that time. He completely lost his sense of control. He only wanted to escape for his life, and he didn't care about delivering any news.
Changsun Wuji's words hit the nail on the head. It would be very difficult to hide it from him.
"Have mercy? I'm giving you mercy, but who is responsible for this? If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility!"
"Come here, drag him down and kill him!" Changsun Wuji said coldly.
"Sir, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Sir..."
No one listened to his words, and no one interceded for him. Changsun Wuji was angry. Who would cause trouble for Changsun Wuji at this time? This was not looking for trouble for himself.
Besides, the relationship isn't that good, so asking for mercy is completely non-existent.
Not to mention that it is your own responsibility to cause such a big loss. If you don’t take responsibility, you still expect others to bear it for you?
After the others were dragged down, Changsun Wuji glanced at everyone and said: "Rebuild the camp. I don't want to be attacked by surprise again. Anyone who monitors and intercepts Cheng Yaojin should just commit suicide!"
For a while, no one dared to speak, for fear that Changsun Wuji would name him and ask him to monitor Cheng Yaojin.
You must know that Cheng Yaojin's strength is not weak, let alone that he brought so many troops to attack, how could he possibly stop him.
Changsun Wuji gave Cheng Yaojin only 20,000 men to monitor him, which was no match for Cheng Yaojin's 40,000 men.
To blame, the one who is really to blame is Changsun Wuji.
If he keeps more troops, will the defense be breached?
But no one would say such a thing. If you say this, you are causing trouble for yourself.
The siege of Chengdu County ended with the camp being attacked on the first day.
There is no other way, the camp is gone, and they are still besieging Chengdu County.
Morale was hit, so they could only withdraw their troops, rebuild their camps, and wait for the next day to advance.
Fortunately, Changsun Wuji did not put all the food and grass in one place. There was only three days of food in the camp, and the rest was placed in a cave not far from the camp. There were many people and horses guarding it, so it was okay. .
Otherwise, if the food and grass were burned again, he could simply retreat. Without Luo Zhang taking action, he would have been defeated.
In Chengdu County, after seeing Changsun Wuji's army retreating, Duan Xuanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent people to Cheng Yaojin to ask what was going on and why Changsun Wuji retreated.
Duan Xuanzhi was very curious about this. Luo Zhang's deployment was so amazing that he had to want to know everything.
Luo Zhang, who Duan Xuanzhi was thinking about, was very depressed at this moment. At this moment, he had a look on his face. This was because he was bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping in the mountains and forests last night.
Luo Zhang didn't expect the mosquitoes in this mountain forest to be so poisonous, so he almost carried him away.
I have never encountered this kind of problem before. Mosquitoes walk around him in the mountains.
Finally, Luo Zhang discovered a problem. A cloth bag he had been hanging on his waist was torn, and the contents fell out at some point.
And this cloth bag was given to him by the old poisoner to protect him from snakes, insects, rats and ants. Luo Zhang always hung it on his waist. Without this thing, it would be strange for him not to be bitten by mosquitoes.
When people sleep in tents, they cover them tightly and even use medicinal herbs to incense them to avoid mosquito bites. He is careless and does nothing. He doesn't even cover the curtains of the tent tightly. If mosquitoes don't bite him, who does he want?
